An alternate way to achieve the same effect is with a "while" loop :.

To create a new script: Download and install AutoHotkey. Right-click an empty spot on your desktop or in a folder of your choice. Type a name for the file, ensuring that it ends in.

For example: Test. On a new blank line, type the following: space::Run www. The :: means that the subsequent command should be executed whenever this hotkey is pressed, in this case to go to the Google web site.
